A healthy, weed-free lawn begins with Spring regimen.

Early spring is the time to "jump-start" lawns, establishing the root system of the grass so it stands a better chance of fending off weed pressure and withstanding the rigors of summer. The first step, aeration, reduces soil compaction, increases air exchange and allows water to percolate more quickly into the soil to create better root mass. "Increasing root mass at this time of the year greatly improves the chances of cool-season grasses to reduce stress and survive the heat of the summer." The second step, fertilizing. The best time to apply fertilizer is just after aeration to move nutrients immediately into the root-zone of your lawn. "This practice has shown excellent results in the density and color of cool-season grasses in preparation for summer stress." We offer this starting the middle of March. Give us a call to set up a schedule for you. 801-633-5770

Grubs attacking your lawn?

We can help prevent this from happening.

Sod Webworm moth

They fly close to the ground. The moths are the adult stage of sod webworms. While the worms themselves can be destructive to your lawn, it’s the adults that are just plain annoying as they stir up and fly close to the ground every time you walk around.

Sod Webworm damage

Damage caused by sod webworms may first appear in early spring as small dead patches of grass among healthy turf areas. As summer progresses, webworm infestation may cause general turf thinning or irregular dead patches in late June into early August. Sod webworms prefer sunny areas and the larvae are often found on south facing yards, where it is warm, sunny and dry. Heavily shaded turf is not often attacked by the larvae. Sod webworms feed by clipping leaf blades off close to the soil surface. Heavy feeding will cause irregular brown areas of grass stubble. The sod webworm larva, which is actually a caterpillar, can be difficult to find as it readily hides in thatch and debris. The adult, which does not feed, is a small tannish moth that will only fly a short distance when disturbed. At rest, the moths fold their wings back over their body and appear tubelike. Adult moths lay eggs by dropping them over the lawn. Our lawn sprays include an insect spray that will help prevent sod webworm damage to your lawn.

Pre Emergent - Weed Kill

Tired of pulling weeds out of your planter areas? We provide a Pre Emergent / Weed Kill three times a year. The Pre Emergence helps prevent weed seeds from germinating and the weed kill gets those that may have gotten through. Eventually you will not have weeds where you don't want them. We can do this along with your lawn spray and root feed.

Getting rid of undesirable grasses in your lawn.

Here is a lawn in Kaysville that was filled with undesirable grasses (foxtails). They called us for help to get their lawn looking better.

Rick is spraying a selective weed kill to control the undesirable grasses growing in this lawn.

Now see how this lawn has transpired into a beautiful lawn.

A yard in Willard with lots of unwanted grasses. We did a selective weed kill on May 26, 2011.

These pictures taken on August 11, 2011, show the undesirable grasses dying and almost gone.

September 16, 2011 - No signs of the unwanted grasses. The lawn is getting thicker.

A little about Rick

Rick had a lawn spraying business down in southern Utah for about 11 years. He bought it with 175 customers and grew it to over 4000 customers when he decided to sell it and move to northern Utah. We built a home in Davis County. As we got to know our way around this new area we saw the potential of starting another business here. We bought new equipment, passed out flyers and got started over again with a new list of customers. We were very surprised to see how fast our business grew. The next year we doubled our business mainly from word of mouth. We're excited to see what will happen this year.

One great thing about Rick is that he's always researching and learning about new products that come on the market. He's always looking for something better for his customers. He knows his business. When he took the test to be certified and licensed by the State of Utah he had the highest score they had ever seen. He was told that his scores were even higher than some of the agricultural professors at the Utah State University. I'm only telling you this so you can feel confident that he knows his business.

Notes from our satisfied customers

A note from a new Farr West customer:

I just want to thank you for the excellent job you did on our lawn when you sprayed for weeds and got it ready for the winter. This is the first time since our lawn was put in that we feel the weeds are under control. We are looking forward to the spring when you come back so we can get a head start on maybe having a beautiful lawn for the summer.

We were called by this customer in North Ogden because they had had trouble with their lawn for years. They were being serviced by a nationally known lawn company but they continued to have grub problems and their lawn was not looking the way it should. After a season with us this is the note we got from them.
